Tough pack
This bag is AWESOME!
I am hard on gear, and this bag holds up to everything that has been thrown at; dropped on; dragged over; and spilled on it!
It has traveled with me for about 8-9 months and it still looks new. The interior compartment can open up almost all the way to lie flat, so that you do not have to dig down blindly and "fish" for that one item that is all the way at the bottom. For its size, this pack will hold so much that you will be amazed. It is coated on the inside to be "water resistant", however I have had it outside in a long soaking rain and everything on the inside was bone dry!
I gave it four stars only for the fact that there is no Velcro to attach a name or anything else to the outside easily. All in all this is definitely a good pack to have and use.
blackhawk 72 hour bag
Overall a REALLY good product.
Pro's:
-airflow channels WORK
-hydration capatible up to 100oz
-comes with it's own lashing straps
-holds a TON of stuff
-compression straps help keep things tidy
-tough as nails (1000D cordura)
-no molle so you don't look like you're going into combat
Con's:
-ladder locks on the shoulder straps seem to slip a little. maybe a couple of cam buckles would do the trick.
Things to note:
-this thing is way bigger than it looks. it isn't exactly a ruck but it ain't a day pack either, you know?
-hydration sleeve works BEST with a BLACKHAWK bladder. others will work...but they don't fit as well. blackhawk bladders are available pretty cheap at cheaperthandirt.
-there aren't a lot of little pockets so if you're looking for a place to put your crayons, your lip balm, your pokemon cards, your make-up and your concealed carry piece this isn't your bag. i like getting the cheap-o...
Tough Bag, Good for light duty
I bought mine in early 2003, and its been trucking faultlessly ever since. I have gone over the front end of my bike & bicycle with it, gone to war with it, traveled with it, gone to school with it, ran with it, shopped with it, bicycled with it even slept with my head on it. It works, the Nylon is very very good. There are really only two downsides, one you cant really pack too much in it and expect it to feel good on your back, also you need to be the right height to get any good use out of the hip belt / support. This back pack is a pain for me @ 6'5 if I'm carrying a heavy load, its great for a few changes of clothes and some other incidentals, but going over 25lbs for me is asking too much in terms of comfort on extended / stressful outings.
Only has a couple holes in it with over 8 years of use, and that was from asphalt and a knife. The nylon does a great job holding its color and holding together.
